[yesterday's attempt to introduce myself seems to have vanished into the aether, my apologies if I end up with a double-post]
I've been poking around the forums here for a while, and figured it was about time to introduce myself. I'm a fairly new brewer, located near Lowell, MA. I'm an extract brewer so far - I've done a combination of kits and digging up recipes both here and at my LHBS. I'd love to move to AG, but for now the equipment size/setup is prohibitive. I currently have 1 6 gallon "primary" and 2 5 gallon "secondary" fermenters, along with fermwrap style heaters for them (though only 1 temperature control unit for them).
So far I've done a couple IPA variants, my take on Thunderstruck Pumpkin, a sarsaparilla brown, a couple takes on hefeweizens and Graff. I've got a Belgian golden ale fermenting now, and will be starting another batch of Ruination clone this evening. I'll be doing an ESB in a few weeks, and have plans to do a Saison of some sort when the temperatures warm up. I keep notes on my beers on a wiki, so I can access and modify them wherever I go.
